Local Government Partnerships

The benefits of solar reverberate throughout low-income communities: families live more affordably in their homes; savings get reinvested in local economies; and the value of sustainability spreads.

In partnership with GRID Alternatives North Valley, local governments are helping reduce and stabilize long-term housing costs for low income-residents, preventing local greenhouse gas emissions to meet targets under AB32 and local climate action plans, and providing hands-on green job training opportunities for local workers.

For every dollar invested by local jurisdictions and private donors, GRID Alternatives brings six dollars of state solar rebate money to the table. Current and past partners have utilized Community Development Block Grants, fee-for-service contracts, low-cost loans and local solar rebate programs to support GRID's work in their communities.
